Open Rebellion: Guadalupe Mayor Rebecca Jimenez demands Sheriff Joe Arpaio cease anti-immigrant sweep.

Guadalupe Mayor Rebecca Jimenez, who bravely defied Sheriff Joe last night.

Last night was a night of high drama as Sheriff Joe brought his illegal immigrant dragnet to the small town of Guadalupe, and the citizens and the mayor of that city demanded Joe leave. Last night around 10:30, Guadalupe Mayor Rebecca Jimenez personally presented Joe a statement to this effect in the parking lot of the Family Dollar where the MCSO was stationed. According to Jimenez, Joe accused her of inciting a riot and informed her she had 90 days to cancel Guadalupe's contract with the MCSO to provide law enforcement to the town. Jimenez and other town council members present said they would be reviewing the MCSO's contract.

Jimenez's release states in part:

"Sheriff Arpaio's attempt to push his own political agenda, from the State's largest municipality to the state's smallest municipality, shows that he disregards his statutory obligations to provide unbiased law enforcement to the residents of this county and should not be based on legal status. We are asking the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office to cease their operation immediately."

Jimenez told me that the MCSO had informed the city that it would be doing an anti-graffiti operation and that she was promised that it would not be one of Joe's anti-illegal sweeps. If that's the case, I'd say she was a little gullible on that front considering Joe's recent activities. However, she bravely made up for this with her defiant press release and by insisting to Joe in person that he amscray.

This capped off an evening of spirited protest by about 200 or so demonstrators, and many drivers-by who honked their horns in agreement. While I was there, Rusty Childress' United for a Sovereign America was nowhere to be seen. People were angered by the MCSO's harassment of their fellow citizens, and many of those present had walked from their homes to be there. I think the demonstrations will be even larger today, as city leaders had initially asked residents to attend prayer vigils being held in different churches rather than protest the Sheriff on site. But obviously, all bets are off now.

The MCSO's stops were petty and pathetic. I rode along with one loosely organized group that monitors the MCSO and videotapes the traffic stops they're making. One lady was stopped and cited for "improper use of horn" (a favorite citation of the evening) because she had honked her horn in solidarity with the demonstrators. Another guy was stopped and cited for a cracked tail light right in front of his house. Still another fella was pulled over because the little light over his license plate was out.

Back at the Family Dollar on Calle Guadalupe, another lady, a full-blooded Yaqui Indian (the town is half Yaqui, half Mexican) told me she was stopped as she was walking to the protest and asked for her I.D. She has lived in Guadalupe all her life. I guess WWB, Walking While Brown, is considered probable cause by the MCSO.

For the Guadalupe operation alone, Sheriff Joe should have his 287g agreement with ICE jerked. That's the agreement that allows specially-trained MCSO to enforce immigration law under limited circumstances. How much more obvious can it be that Arpaio is abusing this authority and terrorizing Valley communities with these bogus and illegal anti-immigrant dragnets? When will the Feds wake up and halt Joe's reign of terror and error?

Note: I have a load of pics, but I don't have time to post them right now. Will have to get them up later today. Thanks for your patience.

Typical Arpaio grandstanding for media attention.

In the end, this will accomplish not a goddamn thing, but the Arpaio lovers will eat it up like the dumb fucking sheep they are because "at least he's doing something."

What does this accomplish?! Wastes money? Why would you announce a sweep hours before you do it?!

You gotta be a complete fucking idiot to support Arpaio's bullshit anymore.

See the forrest for the trees, this is just a STUNT!

Dennis Gilman says:

This time Arpio is treading on Reservation Land. He will attempt to mess up treaties that are over 100 years old.

Although The U.S.A Mansion Family was not out last night, I did get video of one Joe Supporter who was argueing that Guadalupe was not Indian Land. Ignorance must be a requirement for Arpio supporters these days.

m0 says:

Is there a way to plug into the phone trees/networks to get out to these protests so I can show my support? I think this issue is a class struggle issue as well as a border issue-therefore making it REALLY important (unlike the ritual 'lets go deliver a petition to john Mccain's office' letdowns)

Stephen, Stephen, Stephen.....
When are you going to see the light as I have.....

While driving to work today, I finally realized that something does need to be done about illegal’s and Arpaio is on the right track. But he could do more.

Arpaio should have his Posse set up road blocks at every entrance coming In/Out of Maricopa County. ALL Vehicles will be stopped no matter what color or make they are. This way it’s not racial profiling. ID/Papers of all occupants will then be demanded to verify you are here legally.

If anyone in the vehicle does not have ID/Papers, forgot them at home or lost them, it doesn’t matter. You will be taken to a concentration/processing camp in the middle of the desert, given baloney sandwiches, water and tents to sleep in.

If Arpaio’s people, (and only Arpaio’s people) can verify your background, you will be set free after the completed processing can be done. This will include fingerprinting, Facial and Retina Scans for future use and sharing with Honduras.

If you’re background cannot be verified by Arpaio’s staff, you will be given a choice to be deported back to your original country of origin or be exterminated. If Arpaio’s staff think you’re background ID/Papers are false for ANY reason, YOU WILL be exterminated. After all, what part of illegal didn’t you understand…

Anyone who doesn’t appear to be completely White/US Origin will have to go through an additional extensive background check going back 3 generations before being set free just to be sure.

Then at the end of the day, we can all go downtown and huddle at the base of the Wells Fargo building. Wait for our leader Fuhrer Arpaio to come out and stand on the rooftop and shout out everyone their daily pep talk as we yell Arpaio, Arpaio, Arpaio.

Now this really sounds like fun. What have I been thinking….I’m seeing things much more clearly now. Thanks to all Pro Arpaio people for helping me see the light.

Mari says:

If someone is honking his horn to show support for the protesters, then I would think that pulling them over for "improper use of horn" becomes a freedom of speech issue.

Perhaps you could talk to a First Amendment lawyer about this Lemons and let us know what they say.

Kochise says:

With Rusty the Kklown Childress and the Soveriegn Un-America, not showing up in support of Joe Arpithied, shows us that their support of Joe Arpithied`s incompetance is lacking. With time going by and the countdown to Novemeber`s electoriate for the Sheriff Office, more and more people are walking away from the weakening stance of Arpaio. Its quite clear to everyone that Joe`s poll rating and support continues to graviate into downward spiral--dramatically. Depsite the phoney numbers shown on Faux10`s poll, was pure hogwash at best. In just a matter of weeks or months, the poll numbers will drop like dead flies for Joe and for Saban will rise above.

No matter what those cowardly and gutless folks like Gary Peter Kahlr says about Arpaio`s support base, I'm always optimistic. Even if Arpaio wins again, there is no doubt another wave of action will take place, from Federal investigation into fraud, from audits being performed and possibly more lawsuits, deaths, and another recall effort runned by somebody more effective than Leonard Clark. And I also assumed that communities such as Gaudalupe and possibly others will most likely councel their contract with the MSCO`s BIASED law enforcement services.

It might be the slow demise of the MSCO altoegther once Arpaio`s re-elected. I guess nobody will start taking them seriously......

Dee says:

These are deplorable tactics by the heinous Arpaio. He should be put in prison for his Gestapo tactics!!

Stay strong Mayor and all people of AZ.

Javarod says:

Hmmm, so how long until we hear that Guadalupe Mayor Rebecca Jimenez is being investigated for some kind of impropriety?

Enrique says:

Your WWB(Walking While Brown) or DWB(Driving While Brown) mention is completely accurate! Four different Caucasian friends of mine drove through Guadalupe with absolutely no problem at all last night BUT my Hispanic father, US Citizen, was pulled over because he decided to honk twice. Still Nickelback Joe says he and his posse do not participate in racial profiling?! What a joke! He MUST not be re-elected. Not only for the racial profiling but for all the millions of tax-payer money he is costing Maricopa because of all the lawsuits he and his henchmen are causing. Great reporting, THANK YOU for all your work!

Jessica M says:

I was born and raised end educated in Mexico.

You folks support the Reconquista?? How can anyone be so ignorant?

We lost tons of what was then OUR territory, because we were weak, stupid and corrupt, no one in Mexico cared about 2/3 of the old Nueva Espana until after they discovered gold in California and no one in Mexico cared about that territory until the USA built it up with roads, cities, towns, services, industry in the early 20th century. Guess what, it's the 21st century and Mexico is still weak, stupid and corrupt, socially, economically and governmentally. Instead of working to build a great society, instead of Mexican society working as a team and building a 1st class country with the tons of human an natural resources we have, we covet jealously what we could have had, what the USA became and is, it because the Americans are smart and they have their checks and balances socially, politically and economically they built an empire out of 13 piece of dirt colonies, the Spaniards gave us an empire in term of land and as a society we pissed it away, the problem is that mexican never look at themselves as the problem, which we are, naturally we always look at some one else to blame for our own failings.

We suck as a culture, we suck as a society, we suck as a country, were a third rate wannabe leftist dictatorship aka a latina american democracy that can never get it's act straight. I had the good fortune of marrying into an American family that embraced me regardless of my origins these social and political conservatives are some of the most generous and hard working people and some of the closest nit humans you will find, I am lucky to have left Mexico, and I will never return to Mexico, I will die for the USA and my sons will die for the USA because it has given me everything.

What has Mexico ever given me? Nada.

You selfish, self centered (what have you done for me lately) people who are crying and complaining on this liberal blog have know idea how ell you have it, have probably never suffered a day in your life, and yet you support the degradation of America by the lawlessness that is flowing from the south.

Kochise says:

Dennis Gilman,
Guadalupe isn't "Indian Country" and the U.S. Government has already broken every treaty in every Nation(Tribes).
Just so you know those treaties were meaningless.

hey coz,you forgot cavity checks,why are these local stores allowing him to set up shop on there property?maybe the good people of guadalupe should boycott family dollar for 30 days,and tell the rest of the business owners in town the same thing will happen to them if they allow this pig on there property.this probably would not work in phoenix,but in a small town like guadalupe it would be extremely effective.kudo,s to mayor rebecca jimenez,and the good people of guadalupe.

howard says:

Big thumbs up for Sheriff Arpaio. At least he is upholding the law and that is more than I can say for spineless sellout politicians. Spineless sellout politicians are all over and a dime a dozen, but a sheriff that will uphold all laws are priceless. If this confuses you, watch "Walking Tall".

Steele says:

Every recent poll shows Sheriff Joe has a 80% + approval rating.

Lawfull and respectable Citizens will always prevail.

Gordon, Harris and the rest of you who desire a 3rd world cesspool environment, your wish may soon be realized. But not in America, not the Country I took an oath to protect from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Not going to happen. So you losers and this worthless rag can retreat south of the border.

I have heard a lot of people saying that they wish arpaio dies soon...is so sad that an old that should pass history as a man of law end so bad...at the end I dont see him be remembered as a hero or a person actitude to follow....

"Every recent poll shows Sheriff Joe has a 80% + approval rating."

Back it up, steele. Name one poll that has him in the 80s in Maricopa County. Just one.

Online idiot meeters dont count. Only scientific polls. Name one, shithead. Give us the link.

You cant. Know why? There is none.

Youre a filty, lying sack of dogshit, steele. Fuck you. Fuck you AFTER you finish fucking your mother for the 2,051st time.

well I see you like America, thanks for doing that but you are a typical malinche that once is part of the other side she forgets about that rest of indians...I am half italina half mexican and let me tell you. I know mexico has to fix its own problems but as you live very comfortable here, the rest have the right too. if you were lucky and came to this country legally be thankful to god but please don hate your own people cause we are what we are...not because we are around whites we are white. we can act like them but they know inside of them that we are not like them, of course they wont tell..and please love and help our people with bad and good sides...will be more positive if you focus and act like a different mexican not like those that has no education..show your education...

I look Italian but my heart is Mexican...

"Big thumbs up for Sheriff Arpaio. At least he is upholding the law and that is more than I can say for spineless sellout politicians."


Arpaio supporters always say this, but they forget about the rampant crime that goes unchecked in the Tolleson area.

It may seem like he's a great enforcer of the law because he plays to the ignorant FEAR most of his voting base has of illegals.

It's sad how easily you guys are herded about.


Fakies 88 says:

To: Erika Page,
Don't be so gulible. Jessica M. is not a Mexican, let alone--a Hispanic for that matter. They're crow-toothed natavist imposters. Even if she is, they're called "one percenters", meaning, that they make up one percent out of 99.9% who are the majority of non-supporters of Joe Arpaio. 99.9% of non-Whites do not support Arpaio`s position alone. This is also based on anecdotal observerances by many. If you go to another demostration, you will notice with your very eyes my friend, that non-Whites are nearly nonexistant in the White racists old yellers camp.

I believe other communities will follow the path that Guadalupe took recently. I wouldn't be surprised if the small town of Aguila in the farther reach of Maricopa County will be the next to follow what Guadalupe has.
It wise for the true community leaders to not fall victim to the hypocrisy and manipulations of MSCO. Only the true Americans like myself will see through the evils of Arpaio.
Only the Real Americans will fight for Freedom and Justice against Bigotry, Corruption, Racism, and Domestic Terror.

It time for Saban to take the reigns away from Arpaio and restore intigrity, respect to the name "Sheriff" and to re-invigorate the MSCO which is slowing rotting away under the stench of Arpaio.

CooperG says:

Steele is so full of crap everything around him is brown. There are no polls on the planet that shows Arpaio is near 80%. That's a pink-underwear driven fantasy. Lemons recently cited a poll that has Arpaio dropping two more points to 57%. He'll be sub 50% by mid-summer. Then we'll see people jump from his ship in droves.

Chris In Tempe says:

I agree with every negative and nasty thing everyone else has to say about Nickel Bag Joe. He's worse than an ineffective bad joke as a cop, he's a fucking disaster.

Nickel Bag Joe’s efforts are laughable at best. With all that noise and manpower he manages to harass only the least offensive people out there. Meanwhile, serious law enforcement agencies with far fewer resources are going after major offenders. They are targeting smugglers and gangs.

Unlike MCSO chasing down corn vendors and people with burned out license plate bulbs, the rest of the law enforcement community are hunting illegal aliens who are killers, robbers, kidnappers, rapists, pimps, drug dealers, gun runners and smugglers.

Harking bag to Arpaio’s days in the DEA, he chases only the lowest hanging fruit that isn’t harming anyone anyway. Meanwhile, the real cops are going after those that threaten us all.

On the general topic of illegal immigration, we need comprehensive immigration reform in this country, and we needn’t it a long time ago. That has to begin with getting our border security in hand. Personally, I’d send the military to get it done, complete with building all the walls and fences and observation posts we may need. I‘d send them in numbers sufficient so any attack by gang members, drug cartel soldiers or other armed invaders would be met with heavy and effective return fire.

Now, that’s about the immediate security concern, not the numerous long term issues. Once the border is under control we must get our military the hell out of there and replace them with as large a Border Patrol as may be needed. Doing this will vastly reduce the needless and horrific deaths of innocents in our deserts, the subjugation of illegal migrants by gangs and the smuggling of drugs to the north and guns to the south.

Towards those already here in violation of our immigration laws, you will not find my outlook to be blood thirsty but nor is it likely to be to your liking. I am willing to give these people a path to becoming citizens, but it won’t be easy or cheap. I would require fines, community service, the learning of English, longer waiting periods and tougher testing.

A foundational belief underlying American Law is that the punishment must fit the crime. I do not want to exceed that, and deporting millions and busting up families for the simple offense of having snuck into the country strikes me as extreme. If other crimes were committed, those must be addressed through existing laws.

But so long as the people we are dealing with desire to become law abiding citizens, have been law abiding except for the crime of illegal immigration, admit to their crime and pay the penalties assessed, then I would be happy to have them stay right where they are.

In concept, I support the Dream Act for children brought here by their parents. But the parents would have to own up to their crime and set it right. That’s the price for having broken the law, you have to pay the price that any society based upon laws demands of you.

Our processes for lawful immigration are a tangled, slow and absurdly expensive mess. The FBI is hopelessly backlogged on criminal background checks. Good people who sincerely want to be citizens of our country spend thousands of dollars and wait years to get in. While I realize this situation is not the only reason people sneak in, it has been more than enough a hurdle for many to risk the life and death journey across our deserts. The system must be overhauled, streamlined, made affordable and adequately staffed.

I could go on but the point ought to be clear enough. The immigration issue is in truth many issues, with complex problems and no simple solutions. It needs to be looked at in its component elements, and each addressed in a well thought out and specific approach.

If all we do is choose between no action, and right wing wacko action, we will continue to be in the same mess. If we address only one element of the immigration problem, we will again achieve nothing. We are in great need of a comprehensive approach and leaders with the guts to say so.

I am not about to hold my breath waiting for such a leader.

Gordon's rallying call brings sounds of silence
Apr. 3, 2008 12:00 AM
That was it? That's all the love Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon is going to get?

No disrespect to the small, plucky group of politicians and activists who showed up earlier this week to publicly support Gordon's condemnation of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's immigration sweeps, but the highest-profile people among them were the state Democratic Party chairman and one state legislator.

Where's everybody else?
advertisement


Someone from Congress maybe? The governor? Big-time business executives?

A week ago, speaking to a fired-up audience at a luncheon honoring the late civil-rights activist Cesar Chavez, Gordon got a standing ovation for taking on Arpaio and his immigration policies.

He called the neighborhood sweeps Arpaio's deputies have been conducting in search of illegal immigrants "made-for-TV stunts."

There were cheers when the mayor said of the sheriff, "Don't say you're going after murderers when you're not. Don't call it crime suppression when it isn't."

There was applause when the mayor defiantly declared, "If he really wants to fight crime, he should start rounding up dangerous criminals who have outstanding felony warrants issued for them. There are thousands of outstanding warrants in this county. How long are those going to stay piled up on his desk?"

The mayor ended his speech with this impassioned plea: "I call upon everyone in this room - especially the non-Hispanics in this room - to speak out. Make your voices heard."

The righteously inspired and newly motivated crowd rose to its feet, all pumped up and seemingly eager to "speak out."

And I'm sure they will. Eventually.

Although, apparently, not just yet.

Or, maybe, never.

Here at the newspaper, we keep up on what politicians and other bigwigs have to say and, other than the nice but not terribly well-known folks who backed up the mayor earlier this week, we have heard . . . nothing.

The equivalent of crickets chirping.

Or wind rustling through leaves.

Why is that? I asked Gordon.

"You know," the mayor said. "He (Arpaio) scares them off. They (the kind of high-profile politicians and others who should be speaking publicly) tell me what they think, but . . . "

They're unwilling to go up against Arpaio, who has high public-approval ratings and a publicity machine that knows how to counterattack.

So, shortly after the luncheon crowd finished singing Gordon's praises, they resorted to the theme song of most elected officials who disagree with Arpaio: The Sound of Silence.

The sheriff was not so shy. He responded immediately after Gordon's speech, promising more immigrant sweeps in Phoenix and adding, "The Phoenix police ought to come out here and clean up this neighborhood, and then we wouldn't have to come out here."

He added that Gordon should be thanking him rather than criticizing him.

"I only wish that I'd said something sooner," Gordon told me. "The sheriff has enough resources to put 200 posse members and officers into a square mile, and arrests 50 people. With fewer officers, the Phoenix PD, DPS and the FBI arrested 500 gang members. These are much more dangerous people. That's what we should be concentrating on."

The mayor believes that many, many prominent people in Arizona - both in and out of politics - stand firmly behind him on this.

And I agree. They're behind you, Phil.

Way, waaaaaaay, behind you.

If my choices are the "illegals" or Steele's list of "patriots", I will take the "illegals" 100 times out of 100. I do not have time to hang out all day, every work, I mean week day with Steele and his buddies. Like the "illegals", I actually work.

Steele, do not try to tell me what great working men you and your buddies are. The members of the "patriot" groups you mentioned are all so lazy and stupid you could not get jobs if they were willed to you.

CooperG says:

In typical Arpaio-lackey fashion, instead of providing the proof of a poll that shows Arpaio at 80%+, he changes the subject.

Steele, focus for us, would you please? The topic is your claim there is a current poll somewhere that has Arpaio at 80%+. Provide the proof or be known from this day forward as a liar.

Steele says:

A job Californicate Arizona ??? You are absolutely correct, I do not have a job. Both my wife and I are way too busy operating our own companies here in the Phoenix valley. We both net over $100,000 a year.

So Monday when you report to your factory job, or manure processing plant, try and remember that I will be enjoying breakfast at one of my favorite restaurant's, before commencing my 10 hour work day.

PS. Yes, we do E Verify, have never employed anyone with a questionable citizenship, and currently or entry level position pays $15.00 per hour, including benefits after 90 days probationary period.

If you have anymore disrespectful, slanderous statements to say about me, I encourage you to contact me personally and I will meet you anywhere, anytime and we can discuss this face to face, like men. I assume this concept is foreign to you and you will never respond.

If by chance you do have a set of testicles, please email me at Steelehorseman@yahoo.com and we will arrange this meeting.
Make sure you have medical insurance, you'll definitely be needing it.

Oh who am I kidding, I'm expecting a "new Times" panty waste nerd to actually own a set of testicles ???

Coz says:

I totally agree that something needs to be done on the immigration issue. There is no doubt that the illegal’s are draining the system, just as the whites, the blacks and any other color you want to pick that collect welfare and sponge off the system.

What I don’t agree with is Arpaio’s corruption and malfeasance of office or the fact that ARPAIO HAS………. once again for those that can't see the forest through the tree’s….

COST Maricopa County Tax Payers 44 MILLION DOLLARS in CIVIL SUIT AWARDS.
COUNTLESS $$$ in LEGAL FEES.
HONDURAS VACATIONS for his executive staff and the LIES he continues to tell about it.
NO PUBLIC REVIEWED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING (yet) in any area of MCSO.
MILLIONS OVER BUDGET 6 months into the year.
4000+ PENDING CIVIL SUITS in State & Federal Courts.
70,000 OUTSTANDING WARRANTS not being processed by MCSO.
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT continuing abuses.
And of course, the continuing PERSONAL CONSTITUTIONAL ABUSES of anyone who stands against him.....

You can justify Arpaio’s corruption and malfeasance all you want with the smoke screen of illegal immigration, however, you cannot change the fact that Arpaio is nothing more than a major liability to the Tax Payers of Maricopa County and will continue to cost Maricopa County Tax payers as long as he is in office.

The financial numbers Arpaio has cost Maricopa County Tax Payers, (43+++ million dollars worth) don't lie. They are in fact real and documented.
I’m sure these numbers will probably double once a COMPLETE AUDIT is finally done in ALL AREA’S and the truth be known since the time Arpaio has held this office.

Maybe that's ok with some and those paid by Arpaio, but I hardly think it's ok to the rest of us tax payers footing the bills for Bozo Joke Arpaio, his Goons or his Trolls..

mo says:

To all you inbred, eyes-to-close-together MOLE PEOPLE..

Ok, lets get this straight, pilgrim. Your ancestors raped, burned, and enslaved millions of people. Committed Genocide. To 'build' this country. Therefore all of your rantings about how 'we built this country' and other nonsensical idiocy is either unfounded ignorance, or just outright PRIDE IN THE FACT THAT YOUR ANCESTORS COMMITTED LAND-GRABBING IMPERIALISTIC GENOCIDE. So which is it?

You have no excuse to deny food, clothes, or shelter to anyone....besides those two above, and if thats where you stand, well, that makes you the most Un-American around. Why dont you go back to England or Poland or Wales or something?

Nativist? Oh god you gotta be FUCKING JOKING. That word alone just showcases your ignorance.

Mo, you're an idiot. Its not about the fucking past, its about now. Try and get over tha fact that there's nothing we can do about it, so move on to an epoch of 21th century of retrograded barbarism known to us as the dental buck-toothed rednecks. A modern day pungent savagery.
Weeeeehaw! Howdy.
Steele claims to own a business which will be heavily monitored under the federal government and AZ state employers sanctioned laws and if he doing anything, I mean anything illegal at all, such as the hiring of illegal aliens for low pay just to save his unsucceful company some dough, well then, he's in some serious trouble, boy. And of course, we all know what can happen next.
Yahoooooo!!!
Care fur a boodlite?
As a matter of fact, this "Steele" fella truly bores me out with his self-loathing flattery, but as usual we rednecks, are full of shit as usual. Aint dat right Steele?

He pees in public.
He shot my horse.
Now things got better, from bad to worse.

Wooohooooo!!!

Slavyanski says:

Dammit Steele, this is not your personal dating service. Go to the main site and place a classified ad if you're so lonely.

James Cooney says:

Creating a "day labor center" for people from other countries who got here illegally makes a whole lot of sense.......especially when there are still DIRT ROADS through these neighborhoods, some of the buildings are 40-50 years old and dilapidated, so lets spend money and time to organize and facilitate ILLEGAL labor opportunities for people who belong in Mexico . or Guatemala or where ever their REAL homeland is. Why don't these people go home and do something of value in their homelands ?? Wiring home a bunch of illegally - earned cash is only allowing those in their homelands to become dependant on illegal $$$$$$. And when will all the WHINERS realize that the same "COYOTES" (a pc term for human smuggler/slave runner) who bring in the illegals are also bringing in coke. pot and meth. they are the ones taking victims out to the desert and shooting them in the back of the head, and they go to gun shows to buy assault weapons and smuggle them to Mexico to facilitate a DRUG WAR that takes THOUSANDS of lives every year. Are you liberals OK WITH ALL OF THIS ??? Do any of you understand ?????? REALLY understand ?????? WAKE UP....


Steele says:

I'm here to stay, you freaks are so easy to annoy its enjoyable.

I'm the guy in high school that use to slap you around in front of your nerd friends, and still find terrorizing you losers enjoyable.

Dating service??? I'm happily married. But I assume you're probably as popular and as good looking as the Bird Turd. The only pussy you guys get is rented, diseased crack whore pussy. Then again, maybe you're into men, animals or both.

Looking forward to tormenting you further.

Steele says:

Let's start by getting rid of the people who do not want to enforce the Law's of our State and Country like Mayor Gordon, Jack Harris,

Maybe look into this Mayor Jememez in Guadalupe that talk's of Sheriff Joe "going after HER People" what the hell was that,,,,,,little racist there for a Mayor. Jememez,, don't the people of Guadalupe that are not your race count?

Steele says:

Here you go AZME, and the rest of you pathetic losers. Must really suck living on your knees.

You should rename this blog to the wining, minority "I'm a victim" blog.


TV 3 news 6pm news reports Sheriff Joe approval rating is:


among Dems 63%

Republicans 85%

Whites 74%

HISPANICS 48%

Others 64%

survey was taken by American traffic Solutions

steelesuxhiswifesdonkeydick says:

Sorry, "Steele," who sounds a lot like "James Cooney," whoever that dumb fucktard is...Those figures you cite are statewide, doofus. Even then, your numbers are off. Lemons got 'em direct from American Traffic Solutions. Read 'em and weep:

http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/bastard/2008/04/sheriff_joe_arpaios_approval_d.php

"Eventually, Weiss said, someone at ATC informed the MCSO of the results, and both Arpaio and his flack Paul Chagolla have been talking them up to reporters of late, save with the mischaracterization that the poll showed Arpaio with an approval rating in the 80th percentile. According to Weiss, the poll shows nothing of the kind. Statewide, the survey has the Sheriff with an excellent or good approval rating of 74% among Republicans; 44% among Dems; and 52% among Independents. Of course, such statewide numbers are meaningless. Joe's not running for Republican Sheriff of Arizona. The only stat that matters for him is the one for Maricopa County: 57% across the board."

This is directly from the spokesperson at ATS. So fuck off with your cheap redneck lies, and go back to sucking off your wife's footlong and taking it up the ass from her. Bitch.

Steele,Steele, Steele,

There is a differance between having a job and pretending you do on line. Why dont you tell us where you and your German Shepard of a Wife work? Do you even know how stupid you sound when you say things like "I'm the guy in high school that use to slap you around in front of your nerd friends, and still find terrorizing you losers enjoyable."
Anyone who would say that is obviously a coward with emotional issues. That is the problem with the groups that you mentioned and link to. They are a bunch of Charles Mansion Wanna-Bees, and they are unstable and dangerous, as you seem to be proving by your every post.


(my apolagies to German Shepards everywhere.)

patty says:

I applaud you, Mayor Rebecca Jimenez and Mayor Phil Gordon also. It's good some politicians have a backbone and aren't afraid to stand up for what's right. I, personally, am doing everything I can to see that Mr. Arpaio is not elected again. He belongs in his own jail.

steeleSTILLsuxhiswifesdonkeydick says:

"steelesuxhiswifesdonkeydick ?????? Anyone who speaks of sexual acts with an animal is on the exact same level of scum as a child molester."

I totally agree, Steele. Your wife is an "animal" with hairy teats, and she weighs as much as a horse. We all know you rednecks like 'em big! Also she has a penis that's bigger than yours. That is an assumption, of course. That you have a penis, I mean.

Come on Steele. If you agree that youre too fucking dumb to know the difference between state results on a poll and county results, then you must admit that youre too fucking dumb to know that you have a fat horse with a penis for a wife.

Enjoy sucking her off tonight in the trailerpark!

Slavyanski says:

Steele, were you possibly born with a disorder that prevents you from seeing irony? Earlier you accuse me of possibly being "into animals", and then later you tell a guy that makes such a reference in relation to you that people who talk about sex with animals are on the same level as child molesters. Do you see the inherent problem there, Steele?

Next, we have your constant insinuation that everyone else here was an internet tough guy, yet you are the only one here resorting to internet tough guy tactics, mainly because you can't support your claims with evidence. Then you launch into immature, high school tirades about what kind of "pussy" other people can get.

From now on I'll be sure you can occupy yourself with some reading material in your e-mail.

Slavyanski says:

It's obvious that anyone who takes Steele up on his challenges would either be arrested for making threats or some flimsy conspiracy charge- or Steele would simply ambush anyone who comes with a few of his friends and maybe some baseball bats.

Nobody's stupid enough to walk into an ambush over some argument they got into on the internet.


You're a moron, plain and simple.

AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,

OUAGADOUGOU-BURKINA FASO.
BANK WEBSITE:www.bkofafrica.net

Dear Friend,

I am the manager of auditing and accounting department of BANK OF AFRICA
(B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. In my department we discovered an
abandoned sum of US$20.1m dollars (Twenty Million One Hundred Thousand US
dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR.
RICHARD BURSON from Florida, U.S.A) who died along with his entire family on
November 1999 in a plane crash.For more informations about the crash you can

visit this site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/502503.stm

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless
some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidlings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that
all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this
discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you,so that
the money can be release to you as the next of kin or relation to the
deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody will come for
it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed
dormant fund.

The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after eight years the money will be transfered into the bank
treasury as unclaimed dormant fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin
in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a
foreigner and a Burkinabe like me can not stand as next of kin to a
foreigner.

I agreed that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the
provision of a foriegn account ,10% will be set aside for expenses incurred
during the business and 60% would be for me.Thereafter, I will visit your
country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to
enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you arranged,you must apply
first to the bank as relation or next of kin to the deceased customer with a
text of application that i will send to you,but before i send to you the
text of application form,I will like you to send me the following

1.NAME IN FULL:................................?

so i will like you to send to me those informations for easy and effective
communication.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of
the application form.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear
as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should
contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter,if only you are
intrested and ready to help.

The criminal aliens in our midst represent a very real threat, a clear and present danger to the security of our nation, our communities, our neighborhoods, our homes, and our families. They should be dealt with accordingly.

This article appeared on a local Phoenix, AZ radio station website on 2 April 2008:

=======================================
Hispanic Leaders Say Patrols Will Spark Violence

By KTAR.com
POSTED: 8:16 am MST April 2, 2008
http://www.kpho.com/news/15...

PHOENIX -- Hispanic leaders are calling for an immediate end to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's illegal immigrants' patrols, claiming they are dividing the community and could lead to violence.

"As a community, we see him going out setting up his troops and stopping people at random -- racial profiling," said Hector Yturralde, president of We Are America.

Yturralde, Lydia Guzman with Respect Respecto and immigrants' activist and former state lawmaker Alfredo Gutierrez expressed concerns that Arpaio's patrols, which have drawn large groups of protesters, will end up in violence.

"We're seeing people come out of the shadows who are very angry because at some point they feel victimized," said Guzman. "And other people are coming out of maybe the other side of the shadows and saying we want something done."

"He chose to take this extraordinary provocative approach," Gutierrez said, adding that during last week's operation, "We were able to maintain control, but barely." He said more patrols could lead to formal resistance, i.e. civil disobedience on the streets of Phoenix.

"I think that will begin to occur at his next excursion, the next time he brings 200 or 300 people into a neighborhood to arrest people," Gutierrez said.

=======================================
This pronouncement by the criminal alien enablers reinforces a similar "warning" to Phoenix citizens from the "town hall" meeting back in December 2007, where the City of Phoenix was discussing changing their Special Operations Order 1.4, which currently prohibits Phoenix PD from inquiring about the immigration status of the criminals that they encounter:
=======================================

http://www.azcentral.com/ar...

Here's an excerpt:

"Changing Phoenix police's immigration-enforcement policies will create a climate of fear in Phoenix that could lead to multimillion-dollar lawsuits and even riots..."

What really stood out for me was the following:

"Don't let Phoenix become the next Watts, the next LA riots," Alex Navidad, an immigration lawyer, said in an impassioned plea to the panel. "That's what's going to happen."
=======================================

The rhetoric used by the criminal aliens and their enablers continues to "ratchet up" every time they talk about what is "going to happen". Notice that the above enabler Navidad didn't say that riots *could* happen, he said that they *will* happen.

That sure sounds like a warning and a threat to me. The criminal aliens and their US enablers are enraged and are out of control right now, so there is no telling how much of a rampage these enemies among us will be capable of by the time we get to 1 May 2008, when the next Communist "may Day" protest marches are scheduled to commence.

As I have been saying all along, the criminal aliens and their US enablers are of an entirely different "tribe" than we the Citizens of this nation. All throughout history, when resources become scarce and times get tough, tribal warfare has always been the inevitable outcome. To ignore that historical fact is to be willfully ignorant of reality, something that the Liberal (Socialist) pinheads seem be quite adept at.

We have already seen a near-riot last week in Phoenix when the criminal aliens and their Fifth Column enablers came out to confront the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office during a concentrated "saturation enforcement" effort in one of Phoenix's neighborhoods with a high crime rate.

http://www.kpho.com/video/1...

What we can expect from the criminal alien crowd is more violence, not less, and a continuing escalation of that violence between now and 1 May 2008. On or around that date, I fear that all Hell will break loose in the Phoenix area.

My wife and I are buying up ammunition and storable food, and moving to a location well outside of Phoenix. I have been advising everyone else in Arizona that will listen to do the same. Once the mob violence begins, we can predict that the "authorities" will be quick to close down all of the retail sources of firearms and ammunition, just as they did at the beginning of the Rodney King riots in Los Angles, and as they did all around New Orleans in the wake of the Katrina disaster. The last thing that our current government wants is for our Citizens to be able to defend themselves, their homes, and their families.

I have advised everyone I know to evacuate Phoenix, at least during the week prior to and the week following 1 May 2008. My wife and I are leaving the city for good right now.

Something wicked this way comes, ya'll.

Steele says:

Do some research Dennis, you lazy bastard. I posted my contact information last week, and have repeated the information twice since then, yet not one of you cowards have the balls to even send me an email, let alone would agree to meet me man to man.

Ambush??? Really??? You might tell people when you get out of the hospital that I had a group of people with me, but I am completely capable of handling any of you spineless cowards.

And no, I am not Smooth. Unlike Dennis and the fat Bird bastard, I do not post under numerous aliases. Only cowards would think of something so pitiful.

I do know Smooth, and am proud to call him a brother. Unlike anyone you worthless cockroaches have ever known, I would trust my life, my family and my homes to Smooth. He is a man of Honor, a Veteran and a true Patriot.

Smooth posted his name, address and phone number. Once again absolutely zero contact from any of you spineless punks.

That's the major difference between Men like myself and my brother Smooth, we don't talk shit and hide behind a computer keyboard.

And these are exactly the reasons people like you will never succeed in anything you attempt and will always live on your knees.

Dru says:

Hey Lemons, where are the pics? Please post them.

Steele says:

Here's the official poll, representing all of Arizona's support for Sheriff Joe. The statewide results will reflect the citywide results, since the majority of the angry Mexican population is illegal, has no rights and are not eligible to vote. I'm sure Saban (Satan) can count on at least 3 votes from this forum. Satan will be lucky to pull down 20% of the vote. That will only indicate that at least 20% of the Phoenix population needs to be eliminated.


ASU POLL SHOWS 81% OF REPUBLICANS APPROVE SHERIFF ARPAIO’S FIGHT AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
EVEN THE MAJORITY OF ARIZONA DEMOCRATS SUPPORT THE SHERIFF


(Phoenix, AZ.) In what is bound to be a huge disappointment for illegal alien advocates and some elected officials, a new poll taken by Cronkite/Eight pollster Dr. Bruce Merrill shows that 81% of all Republicans statewide and 72 % of those Arizonans with an opinion on the subject think Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is right on target with his lone stance on local enforcement officials enforcing the federal and state anti human smuggling laws. The 72% figure represents people from all political parties.

Arpaio has taken an increased amount of criticism recently from activists, politicians, even local police chiefs and other critics who publicly vocalized that the Maricopa County Sheriff should not be in the business of enforcing immigration laws. Arpaio disagrees with his critics and oversees the only law enforcement agency in the state of Arizona to enforce all aspects of the human smuggling laws.

“Maybe these police chiefs and politicians should hear the voice of the people they are sworn to protect and serve,” Arpaio says. “They are public servants too and clearly their public is saying they want these illegal immigration laws enforced wherever possible.”

The Sheriff also takes issue with the police chiefs on another matter they’ve spoken about publicly. In a press conference late last week, some police chiefs said their officers must concentrate on the apprehension of violent criminals rather than focusing on arrests of illegal immigrants.

However, a snapshot of jail bookings from October 9 to October 15 2007 shows that 50% of all people booked into the Maricopa County Jails by all valley police agencies are booked on misdemeanors only.

“So much for the argument that police are only going after felons when statistics show half of the people they are arresting are misdemeanants only. That tells me they do, in fact, have the time and resources to join the fight against illegal immigration,” Arpaio says.

Further study of the illegal immigrants incarcerated in Arpaio’s jail today show that 2100 illegal aliens who are in jail today have committed a total of approximately 11,000 crimes against our community including 8500 felonies (96 counts of murder, 473 counts of kidnapping, 122 count of sex crimes, 1465 counts of armed robbery, 187 counts of child abuse and child sex abuse, 737 counts of assault, among others) and 1678 misdemeanors.

Jim Bowie says:

Sherriff Joe is an American hero, he is the only politician in our county tht will chase the scumbag cockroaches back across the border.
Those that support the liberal left agenda are part of the problem, if you feel so sorry for the "immigrants", then please by all means leave the country with them.
Us hillbilly, white trash, toothless, unemployed redneck racists will sit at home and clean our guns and polish on our Harleys!!

Dennis Gilman says:

Steele says"Do some research Dennis, you lazy bastard. I posted my contact information last week, and have repeated the information twice since then, yet not one of you cowards have the balls to even send me an email, let alone would agree to meet me man to man."

First of all, this isn't WWB Smack Down! Its suppose to be political debate. Second, please repost your full name and address and phone number as if anything happens to me, I want the police to have all the info..Thanks Dude!

I really dont post under different names-sorry to disappoint you. But believe what you want, its ok with me.

You and Smooth are 2 of the best reasons why cousins should not breed. You are out of your minds violently and criminally insane. I have no desire to fight with either of you idiots. This is not Jr. High School. I am an adult and one who believes in non violence as do most responsible adults. That is why there are laws. You remember"THE RULE OF LAW" well- perhaps you've forgotten or dont really believe in it.
As with most Mature adults, we learn (usually in grade School) that fighting is not the answer. There are a few folks out there like yourself, who are unable to mature as normal human beings do, for what ever reason (I'm thinking its the Nativist Inbred thing where Mom and Dad were brother and sister) so they continue to resort to 8 and 9 year old behavior because they can not mature. They usually kill someone, wind up in jail and (I'm also apposed to the death penalty) wind up being executed. But look at the bright side, you will be able to be closer to Sheriff Joe for a few weeks.

Steele- get help before its too late. This is no longer funny and I'm really afraid that you will hurt someone or yourself (probably your wife or children) if you dont get help.

My apologies to any and all I may have offended with this or any other posts. There is an old saying: If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. I do not believe I have helped Smoothe or Steele in any way, there fore, I really need to stop posting for a while. Perhaps we can actually talk politics here instead of "Jerry Springer" . There are some good minds that share some important views from time to time. But I'm beginning to feel like the guys in High School that picked on the retarded kids when I see us pick on Steele and Smoothe. And that does not feel good to me.

Peace

Slavyanski says:

Steele, the problem with your constant challenges is that one day you will inevitably challenge someone who will promptly kick your ass. Then again maybe you foresaw this inevitability, which is why you issue internet challenges which you know you will never be able to back up.

One more thing Steele; I noticed you made the cover of a magazine. Good job!

Californicate Arizona says:

For someone who supposedly owns his own business and works "10 hours" a day steelemule sure has a lot of time to post messages.

The threats (which are against the law--what part of illegal don't you understand steelemule?), the bragging about being a bully, the false bravado about how much money he allegedly makes--can you say compensation issues?

Seriously, bravo to Her Honor, Mayor Jimenez and His Honor, Mayor Gordon for stating the truth that Il Duce Joe is just out for publicity while ignoring his real job (serving warrants, escorting the accused to court, etc).

Doobie Mon says:

Where\'s the link to this imaginary poll, Steele? Cronkite/Eight did a poll last year that everyone can access here:

http://www.azpbs.org/horizon/poll/2007/11-20-07.htm

The poll was published 11/20/07. It polled Maricopa County voters, and found:

\"Sixty-one percent had a very positive (32 percent) or generally positive (29 percent) opinion of Sheriff Arpaio. 35 percent had a somewhat negative (18 percent) or very negative (17 percent) opinion of the sheriff.\"

The last Cronkite/Eight poll Dr. Bruce Merrill has done, was a February poll, which had nothing to do with the Sheriff. There was also a January poll, which had nothing to do with the Sheriff.

Note that the fake newspaper article Steele posts has no date on it, and does not tell you where it\'s from. Nor is it written like a real newspaper article. And, as mentioned, he gives no link to it.

Steels is a liar, but not a very good one. His lies are easily disproved.

Further proving how incredibly stupid Steele must be, is this quote:

\"The statewide results will reflect the citywide results, since the majority of the angry Mexican population is illegal, has no rights and are not eligible to vote.\"

Arpaio is not running in a city election, Steele. He\'s running in a county election. You remember, Mar
